You’re insinuating I misread your posts and inferred something that my bias created. Your insinuation is wrong. I read the words you typed. I did not “read into” your words. You’re the only person in this thread who has stooped to personal attacks, and my reply to you is overtly stating that observation.

Yes, I called Pat a Nazi. You are right. Now crawl back into your safe space and embrace being validated.
What’s up with you man? You’re getting all “internet tough guy” for no reason.

No I’m not. I’m just calling one poster out for playing the Nazi card and another for ignoring it and acting as an apologist.
It all gets back to Pat incorrectly, either due to ignorance or deliberately, stating that a zygote is a human being according to scientific fact. It isn’t and any educated person knows this. He then shifted the goal posts by saying science has proven it is part of the human species which is a totally different matter. So he’s upset and calls me a Nazi, actually Mengele, and when I pointed out he was being an idiot, a couple of his buddies tried piling on.
I’m not being a tough guy. Pat tries to say we should talk about these issues openly and honestly and then does neither.

Why aren’t you saying anything to that poster? So really, it’s just tomato.
Probably b/c I didn’t notice “that poster” retort with childish shit.
You really do act a bit like a teenager man … “He started it … waaaaah”
Dude, I’ve just noticed it coming from you across threads recently. The quality of your posts seem to have diminished.
Consider it. Don’t consider it. That’s your prerogative. I guess I just
had come to expect higher quality stuff from you - maybe I was wrong to expect that.
If you want to say mud slinging went both ways, I’m 100% down. If you want to say Pat didn’t say childish shit, I’d recommend spending 20 seconds scrolling like I just did.
You bring up a great point - I wasn’t referencing Zecarlo’s interaction with Pat. That’s a clear case of it going both ways.
I was referencing a trend I’ve NOTICED with Zecarlo’s recent posts - his interaction with TrienTrue is what made me notice a trend (which may NOT be a trend, but something I noticed).
Also, there was something with DoubleDuce (I think) the other day as well in which I digitally grabbed popcorn (but was let down - substandard mud slinging).
EDIT: With DD and Pat, yes both ways, Sure. With TriedNTrue - not so sure it’s both ways…regardless, 3 different posters and a trend that I can’t substantiate

Was he not like that before? I guess I’m just not a long enough poster LOL
No I wasn’t and I stopped posting for a while because of the pack mentality of some posters. You note it went both ways but that means you must have also noted it was 3 posters vs 1. Many posters have left because of things like that. There used to be a concerted effort by some posters to run other posters off by ganging up on them.
If two posters are going at each other, even if it is childish, there is no reason for anyone else to take sides and join in. So now when I see that it has become a personal attack I don’t take the high ground because those people will just continue to make personal attacks whenever they think they are losing an argument.
Eh, do numbers really matter? It’s the internet. I’ll take on 12 Raj accounts no problem.
Not sure what the landscape used to look like, but these days it’d be hard to convince me someone who dislikes trump is at risk of being ganged up on around here.
It’s a public forum, which essentially a room IRL with a discussion going on in it. If people chime in, that’s kinda how a public forum works.
Glad to see how much better that’s working for you?
If you’re alright with your posts coming off the way they do, have at it? Nobody is stopping you. Doesn’t really encourage people to want to have discussions with you though. Shot-esque 1 liners are usually more powerful in smaller less frequent doses.
You haven’t been around that long, one.
What’s the common denominator?
You do actually have to be willing to listen to others. It’s not about moving your ‘needle’, its about understanding the other person better and where they are coming from.
That may or may not move your needle, its hard to say your worse for it though.
If you don’t like a conversation, stay out of it. You never-ever have to talk about something you don’t want to.
You have know way of knowing what ‘they’ do. All I said is being a statistic is a personal choice.
It is a scientific fact. What species is it, if not human? This is established science. If it does not agree with your opinion, that is not the fault of the scientific fact. Look it up, show me an instance where a human being in the zygote stage of development is not actually a human being?
We have a right to defend ourselves against hostile posters. I seldom instigate, but I will reply to a point.

logical inconsistencies (see wut I did thar?)!
Which also didn’t take long. I’ve spent a LARGE part of my life listening to others. There aren’t that many unique viewpoints re: religion. If I had got to my age in the days of the internet without hearing the vast majority of them, I’d wonder what rock I lived under.
Of course I do. Either someone is acting or they’re not. It’s a binary choice. By the method of knowing they did something, they were required to act.
Edit: note I never said what their action was, merely that it happened
FTR I kept the conversation civil and reasonable until Z started responding with one line insults. Only after a number of those posts did I final give in to trolling him back.

There is a difference between human being and human. I can clip a toenail and someone can say it belongs to the human species but that doesn’t make it a human being or, and take note of the indefinite article, A human.
If a zygote were a human being then abortion would be legally murder. The fact that abortion is not murder, legally, says that a zygote’s status as a human being is not a fact.
Besides, science does not define what a human being is. The definition may use science but it is not scientific. Your definition of human being is not scientific.

You were trolling from the start. It’s the only reason you posted on this thread. The only thing that bothers me is that you are so bad at it.
